The Red Vineyard, 1888

Your taste…

Harvesters work among vines near Arles that have turned red in autumn, under a low, yellow evening sun. Van Gogh painted it in November 1888, while Gauguin was staying with him. In 1890 the Belgian painter Anna Boch bought it for 400 francs at the Les XX exhibition in Brussels, the only painting known by name that he sold in his lifetime.

Look closer

Beyond the harvesters, the low sun is mirrored in a stretch of water, and a small horse-drawn carriage travels along the road.
